Drenched in steaming water, a man materialized in the middle of a grassy plain; he was completely naked, with a foamy white substance in his short black hair. He casually muttered "Okay then... that was weird. Hmmm~ probably aliens? Well, I could just be dreaming, or dead, but somehow, this place feels kinda... different? Maybe I was abducted, or fell through some sort of trans-dimensional portal, heh. Sigh, they could have at least waited until I was finished though." As soap leaked into his eyes, he shouted "Ow-ow-ow, shit! Damn it! Gah, oi, whoever brought me here; couldn't you have waited until 'after' I got out of the fucking shower!?"
Unbeknownst to the mysterious, twenty-three year old Human, a small yet ferocious predator stealthily approached. Before he even had a chance to react, the fluffy white rabbit, with blood-thirsty bright-red eyes, leapt into the air and headbutted his lower-spine.
Strangely enough, the relatively muscular man was launched a few meters forward by the attack. The large green 'health-bar' appearing above his head was nearly emptied. His 'HP' was only at 3/10, and the words 'partial-paralysis' suddenly appeared in neon-orange, next to the pitch-black name "Michael".
On that man's lower-back, was a huge, dark-red bruise, which seemed to be internally bleeding quite a bit. Since he was unable to remove the soap from his eyes, there was also a 'blinded' debuff as well.
As the blood pooled in his abdomen from his broken spine and ruptured internal organs, he lost another point of health. However, even under such excruciating pain and discomfort, he was surprisingly calm and only groaned a few times, before promptly dying.
The mostly intact pale-skinned corpse was immediately surrounded by five small white-rabbits: Each of them became dyed a deep crimson from the carnage. Once there were only shattered bones, clumps of hair hair, broken nails, and a few chunks of uneaten flesh, a small, inconspicuous pearl was remaining.
Thus, the bloodthirsty creatures continued to slaughter each-other, until only the strongest remained. Out of the five ravenous beasts, only the one who killed Michael was able to consume his 'mana-core' and evolve. When the severely wounded rabbit swallowed the mysterious pearl, its body swelled to at least twice its previous size and a large spiral horn erupted from its forehead. Even though it was on the verge of death before that moment, with only 1/5 health remaining, the HP swiftly jumped up to 5/10. Once it completely devoured its former comrades' mana-cores, a bright white light descended upon it, and a loud ringing resounded in the surroundings.
Next to the generic name "Horned Rabbit" was the number two, signifying that it had 'leveled-up' and all of its health-points were instantly filled, while also increasing to fifteen. A disembodied spirit in the shape of a tiny pitched-black will-o'-the-wisp, was quietly observing the entire scene. It eventually started laughing hysterically, and after the creature scampered off into the distance, a completely naked level-one human man materialized, standing on the blood-soaked ground.
This time Michael didn't have soap in his hair or water on his deathly-pale skin, but strangely enough, he had a wide grin on his face. After stretching his newly formed body, he started talking to himself. "I wonder if this is a virtual-reality game? Sigh~, those bunnies were so adorable... even if they are slightly dangerous. Well, I still think it's probably aliens, or maybe my whole fucking life until now has just been inside of a VR. Hmmm, I mean, it's not like I really had that many attachments. It figures though, I finally start making some money and I get abducted into a different reality, hahahaha~!"
While laughing maniacally, he had once again, drawn the ire of a small white rabbit. This time however, he could hear it crawling through the thick, knee-high green grass. Yet, when he turned around, his reflexes weren't fast enough to alter his fate.
